It will thus be seen loo that the box A serves a triple purpose-viz., first, as a casing for the frame E ofthe cutter When the latter is not in use; secondly, as a base by which the said frame is supported and elevated to a proper position for operation; and, thirdly, as a receptacle for the sliced.v vegetables.

I would have it understood thatin the manufacture of this machine I do not limit myself to the precise construction and arrangement of details herein'described; but reserve to myself theprivilege of making` all such modifications as may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of my invention.

Having thus described my invention, I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States- 1. The Combination, with the case, the front and rear sides of which are provided With perforations near their upper edges, of detachable cross-pieces which support the machineframe inserted through said perforations, and a clamping-screw passing through one Wall of the case and serving to secure the machineframe in position, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
